New Delhi: Vibha Tewari , wife of Shekhar Tewari, accused in the case, has surrendered at Auraiya court. Vibha is charged with destruction of evidence in the murder case.
The engineer was killed because he refused to give money to Shekhar Tewari. Shekhar Tewari has been in jail in connection with the murder. The surrender of his wife will make the case against Shekhar Tewari stronger
Manoj Gupta was allegedly murdered at the behest of ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislator Shekhar Tiwari after he reportedly refused to cough up money for Chief Minister Mayawati's birthday celebrations on January 15
Mayawati had called the death of PWD Engineer Manoj Gupta by BSP MLA Shekhar Tewari as a political conspiracy against BSP.
"I wish to inform the opposition parties that on the ocassion of my birthday they have stooped low and indulged in various dramas to exhibit lowly political games. To spite these opposition parties and to strengthen me further my partymen have gathered twice the amount of donations acquired every year on my birthday," Mayawati read out from a prepared speech.
When it comes to collecting funds, this ambitious politician never forgets her ultimate goal. “Unlike other parties, my party does not take money from big industrialists but bank upon donations from the common man,” she had said
The success of Dalit-Brahmin experiment in UP must have made Mayawati politically powerful but greater access to funds came her way after Vashiya leaders with deep pockets joined BSP.
There is a clear instruction to party coordinators to collect at least Rs 3 lakh from each of the 400 Assembly segments.
